Tanks Across the Desert

Description

This game simulates the British military operations in Libya, Egypt, and the Eastern Mediterranean during the war. The game utilizes deck-building mechanics, which is an appropriate design choice as the Commonwealth forces had to build an army from scratch capable of stopping Rommel and the Afrika Korps. Coordinating the deployment of tanks, infantry, artillery, and diverse personnel including English, Australian, French, and Indian troops was a significant undertaking. The Germans required nearly a decade to achieve this level of integration, while the British accomplished it in just two years. Intelligence plays a crucial role in this game, as there are mechanisms that allow players to anticipate their opponent's actions, granting a significant strategic advantage. We wish you the best of luck.
